    In terms of physical size (i.e. pixels w x h), is there a best size to use when uploading images to a WordPress website? I'm not talking about hero images, which will vary depending on the theme, I'm referring to images that may be used throughout the site in pages or posts, some of which will be full width or may have a sidebar.

    Also, how does WordPress calculate the various default image sizes (full, large, medium, thumbnail)?

    I’m going to close this thread, as it is very old and unanswered. I am hoping that you were able to find your solution in the meantime.

    As a reminder, this is a community forum, manned by volunteers, so not all posts will be responded to.

    In the meantime, if you haven’t already done so, I recommend joining the #GenesisWP Slack community: https://genesiswp.slack.com

    Or the #GenesisWP Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/genesiswp/
